Research Underscores Need to Assess Oral Health in Patients with Systemic Sclerosis

Kurt Ullman  |  November 16, 2016

Karen Appold  |  November 4, 2016

Mechanistic, Epidemiologic Clues Suggest Possible Link Between Obesity, Inflammation in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Kurt Ullman  |  October 11, 2016

Obesity has an established systemic inflammatory component. Could that be a trigger for the inflammation seen in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other rheumatic diseases? Although there is no direct scientific evidence, both mechanistic and epidemiologic clues do give some intriguing suggestions of a possible link. “At first, we thought that fat was involved only in…

Is Arthroscopic Meniscal Surgery Effective?

Lara C. Pullen, PhD  |  September 19, 2016

A recent review examined the effectiveness of arthroscopic mensical surgery in treating meniscal injuries. Researchers determined that little evidence exists to support the use of arthroscopic meniscal surgery and more studies that directly compare it with nonoperative treatments are needed…

Pain Linked to Inflammatory Lesions in Knee Osteoarthritis

Kathy Holliman  |  September 12, 2016

This research finding may indicate that targeting of inflammation could help reduce pain severity in knee osteoarthritis (OA). Tuhina Neogi, MD, PhD, says that her and her colleagues’ research,…

The Patient's Choice

When Rheumatologists Are a Patient’s Second or Third Choice for Medical Opinion

Charles Radis, DO  |  September 7, 2016

Outside Exam Room No. 5, the chart rack was empty, so I assumed my new consult was late. Just in case, I looked back over my shoulder as I passed by the partially open door and glimpsed the lower half of a woman holding a three-ringed binder on her lap. I squinted and took a…

Treatment Options for Severe Refractory Gout When Pegloticase Fails

Diana M. Girnita, MD, PhD, Cody Lee, MD, & Christine Chhakchhuak, MD  |  August 12, 2016

Pegloticase is a new alternative therapy for patients with severe, refractory gout unresponsive to other urate-lowering agents. The goal of this therapy is to reduce disease burden, tophi size and frequency of flares and to improve quality of life when other treatments have failed. Persistent lowering of plasma uric acid (PUA) to less than 6…
